LSU's Jayden Daniels headlines the USA TODAY Sports college football All-America team
View Date:2024-12-23 17:06:14
Heisman Trophy favorite Jayden Daniels makes a pit stop on his way to Manhattan as the starting quarterback on the USA TODAY Sports All-America teams.
The LSU senior has put together one of the most productive seasons by a quarterbacks in Bowl Subdivision history. Daniels has thrown for more than 3,800 yards, rushed for over 1,100 yards and accounted for 50 touchdowns.
There was some heavy debate over which quarterback drew second-team honors. In the end, Oregon's Bo Nix had the numbers and impact to edge past Washington's Michael Penix Jr. despite the Huskies' two head-to-head wins against the Ducks during the regular season.
Other offensive standouts include Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., Michigan offensive lineman Zak Zinter, Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon II and Georgia tight end Brock Bowers. While he missed three games due to injury, Bowers was a obvious choice to draw All-America accolades for the third time in as many seasons.
